nubbins`: "If you go
to
that subreddit [doge] people don't know what
the fark
they are doing but it doesn't matter--they are
tipping,
they are giving
to charity,
they are having FUN. Everyone is friendly and very excited--it's a very stark contrast
to here.
There seems
to be a lot of new crypto users joining
there instead of here. A LOT of new crypto users."

them from it for suire.

mircea_popescu: the chinese ain't moving into
the consumption phase
tho
Mats_cd03: im curious
to see how
the power dynamic between
the us and china changes as
the chinese move into a consumption phase
mircea_popescu: it's mostly a case of a guy with
terminal cancer inventing sneezes and other health emergencies in
the hospital staff.
mircea_popescu: the previous attempts didn't work, as nobody really cares what
the english press is saying outside of
the us space anyway.
mircea_popescu: yes, i get it,
the us is
trying
to create a periphery crisis
to (yet again) shift
the focus.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 "exposure
to emerging markets" != "money nobody is ever repaying, period".

nubbins`: the history of us banking is pretty much "we had
to figure out how
to pretend we didn't shit
the bed"
Mats_cd03: the eurozone is about
to experience
the same
thing are
they not
mircea_popescu: zation of
the U.S. banking industry. So,
they had
to figure a way
to get
those mortgage bonds off
the books of
the banks and silo
them somewhere without basically admitting
that
the U.S. banking system was insolvent.”
mircea_popescu: My
thesis about
taper is
that
the banks in
the U.S. had mortgage bonds on
their books probably close
to
the
tune of a
trillion dollars
that
they could not sell
to anyone. It was dead money, and
they had
to write
them off somehow.
The problem with writing off close
to a
trillion dollars’ worth of mortgage bonds
that were held in all
the U.S. banks is
that kind of money is probably more
than
the
total market capitali

to call
the kid
mircea_popescu: "if i come home and you've eaten no dog i'm going
to spank you!"
mircea_popescu: mike_c pretty much. spent
ten minutes yelling in
the phone at
the
top of his lungs

the kid what a little shitling it is
mike_c: told him

the dog
Vexual: is

mircea_popescu: giving away like a promise
to pay 1 atc once i get some
to
the first person

the right answer.
mircea_popescu: let's do a game of guess. so my driver (who's really a retired ceo guy, lots of fun) dropped off his 10yo kid
